Concepts Of Interrupts: Types Of Interrupts, Interrupt Handling, And Interrupt Service Routines (Isrs)

This section introduces the concept of interrupts in microcomputers, detailing their types, handling processes, and the structure of Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs).

What Are Interrupts?

An interrupt is a mechanism that temporarily halts the CPU's current operations to address urgent tasks by instead executing a specific Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).

Types Of Interrupts

This section categorizes interrupts into hardware and software types, detailing their characteristics.

Interrupt Handling Process

The Interrupt Handling Process outlines the steps the CPU follows when an interrupt is received, allowing it to efficiently manage asynchronous events.

Interrupt Service Routine (Isr) / Interrupt Handler

An Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) is a specialized block of code that executes in response to specific interrupts, facilitating efficient event handling in microcomputer systems.

Prioritizing And Nesting Interrupts: Managing Multiple Interrupt Sources

This section discusses the mechanisms used to prioritize and nest interrupts within microcontrollers to efficiently handle multiple asynchronous events.

Prioritizing Interrupts

This section discusses the mechanisms of prioritizing interrupts in microcontrollers, detailing fixed and programmable priority schemes.

Nesting Interrupts

Nesting interrupts allow higher-priority interrupts to interrupt currently executing lower-priority ones, enhancing responsiveness in systems.

Direct Memory Access (Dma): Principles, Dma Controller Operation, And Advantages For High-Speed Data Transfer

Direct Memory Access (DMA) allows peripherals to transfer data directly to and from memory without CPU intervention, enhancing system efficiency.

Principles Of Direct Memory Access (Dma)

Direct Memory Access (DMA) enables hardware subsystems to transfer data directly to and from memory without continuous CPU intervention, enhancing overall system efficiency.

Dma Controller Operation

This section covers the operation of the DMA controller, detailing its key registers, transfer modes, and advantages for high-speed data transfer.

Advantages For High-Speed Data Transfer

Direct Memory Access (DMA) significantly enhances high-speed data transfer by allowing peripheral devices to communicate with memory independently of the CPU.
